Ingredient Notes

1 cup sauerkraut adds a tangy crunch – look for brands without preservatives for the best flavor. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard complements the sauerkraut beautifully, adding depth; feel free to use whole grain for a twist. 1 pound bratwurst provides the heartiness needed for a fulfilling breakfast. Lastly, 1/2 cup of fresh chives adds a bright, onion-like flavor; substitute with green onions if necessary.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bratwurst until browned and fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove and let it rest before slicing.
  3. Step 2: In the same skillet, warm the sauerkraut for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Step 3: Spread the Dijon mustard onto the tortilla, layer the bratwurst slices, and top with sauerkraut and chives.
  5. Step 4: Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the skillet for 2 minutes to crisp.

Things I’ve Learned

When cooking bratwurst, make sure to turn them frequently for even browning. If you have leftover wraps, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Simply reheat on a skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds before enjoying. To make ahead, prepare the wraps and keep them unwrapped in the fridge to maintain crispness until ready to eat.
